Close! Your chain doesn't actually count as a row,
so you start reading from right to left, and then when you reverse
you read left to right.

what is the best way to keep the back side looking neat while
switching back and forth between colors? I have never learned how
to carry colors through the work as you switch back and forth. Do
you have a tutorial you would suggest? I love your pattern wizard
and really appreciate your hard work and support!! Thank you!

It's not hard to strand in
this manner and will give the piece a much more polished appearance
when it's finished than if you cut the yarn and work the ends in
later. Sure, it's a bit more trouble, but worth it,
IMO. Though double crochet is shown in the illustrations,
single crochet is the same thing, just with a shorter stitch, and
you should be able to strand exactly the same way.

You're so welcome and glad to be of
help! I think stranding is the
easiest way of all to carry colors, especially with something
reversible.
